workingpeople were compelled to toll from
thirteen to fourteen hours a day, while in
1880 only a little over 2 per cent. worked
50 long. And during all that period the
ratio Of wages has been increasing. The
average pay in 1880 was 20 per cent.
greater than it was in 1860, and 40 per
cent. greater than in 1850. Moreover,
while hours of labor where lessening and
wages expanding the prices of the neces-
saries of life remained substantially I'M
changed. These facts indicate that the
poor are growing richer, not poorer.

Trouble at the Ouarries

The Auburn Republican SAYS: THE
stone-cutters who have been working for
G. Griffith struck on Thanksgiving Day
and left his employment. They had an
nounced that on January LIST thew would
demand 81 a day, but the cause of their
quitting earlier was the fact that Mr.. Grit
fifth had employed mole apprentices at the
ROcklin quarry than the cutters thouoht
ought to have work. Six cutters went out
at Penryn and nine at Rocklin. Theseman
were receiving SO so a day for ten hours
work. There has been a Union of Penrvn
and Rockiin stone-cutters, and it is this Or
ganization which ordered the strike. Their
rule is, like that of the National Union
that an employer shah have only one ap-
prentice to ten iourneymen. Some time
ago Mr.. Griffith obtained the contract for
furnishing granite for the new Stockton
Courthouse. The contract calls for about
40 200 feet of stone, and was taken at the
very low price of 100000. Mr.. Griffith
needed men for this work, but the an
nouncement of the cutters that they
would demand 81 a day had the effect of
keeping other workmen out of the county.
so that those already at work could more
easily enforce their demands Mr.. Griffith
found himself in a dilemma He saw that
he must accede to their demands and nav
"a to all union men, whether they were
worth it or not, or else take the bull bv the
horns and fill his contracts by hiring non
union men. He chose the latter course,
and hired number of apprentices with
the result already stated. No great trouble
is expected, as there are already several men
at work, some of them apprentices, who
have nearly served their time and will soon
be journeymen, and others from the East.

usual. The report that Mr.. Griffith elected
any of the strikers from his houses is false.
The Stockton contract will probably last
two years, and at times it will require fifty
or sixty cutters. Any good mechanic will
be given work, when there is room for him.
and, if he is worth 81 day, the chances
are that he will get it,

WESTERN FARMERS SOLVENT.

The labor orators-probably because
misinformed, for they have nothing to
gain by Misrepresentation been
telling the people that the farmers of the
west part Of the country groan beneath
burden of debt secured by mortgage But
now comes Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the
accomplished statistician, and shows by
indisputable figures that the farmers of the
West are ahead of their creditors. Thus
of 100000 Western mortgages on farm
land covering from four to thirty-eight
years, and securing $1SO,OOO,OOO, 10000
have been paid in the sum of sos, 900, 900.
This does not look like following a losing
vocation. So, too, while they have been
paying of, from profits made from the
soil, interest has declined from an average
of 10 per cent. on mortgages for five years,
to g or y per cent. without commission,
where formerly 10 per cent commission
was charged.

has decided for its constitutionality; the
only question is as to the wisdom of or ad-
vantageousness of adopting the policy.
The West has found by examining the
question, he holds, that the foreign pro-
ducer, if left to control our markets, will
become monopolist and regulate prices at
his own will, but under protective tariff
home producers and competitors, he be-
lieves, are multiplied far in excess of the
number of the foreign competitors ex-
cluded. The West has found by expert
ence, says Mr.. Kasson, that protection of
manufacture and production has kept up
good home market Thus, Bessemer steel
cost Sl25 ton. American manufacturers
offered to place it in market, if protected
by duty of $22 so ton-afterwards
made S2S ~. When the competition I'M
der that shelter began, the English drop
ped their price, but competition went on,
without destroying the American interest,
until the steel sold for only little in ex-
cess of the duty figure. So it was with
the silk industry forcing down French
prices. So that the West has come to be-
lieve firmly that protection does not en-
nance values, and does encourage industry,
and from this belief Mr.. Kasson does not
think the West can be shaken, for it found
besides that there was, along with protec-
ton, an increased supply of money, as our
imports fell below our exports. The farm
ers of the West are firmly fixed in the be-
lief that they are producing more food
than the country consumes, and that more
farmers would increase the surplus and
lower prices they therefore want home
industries developed, in order to enlarge
the number of mouths to be fed. Besides,
he adds, the West "prefers home COMPETE
ton at the same price to foreign, even
were the latter to be of equal extent with
the former" He proceeds in this view at
length, and to the patriotic phase of the
question, and holds that the West is for
protection because of ancestral advice,
patriotic purpose and desire for complete
national independence. How such views
which must be taken to reflect the major
portion of the sentiment Of the West, are
to be estimated in a political contest, in
view of President Cleyelands scale
down-the-tarih" message, is not difficult to
understand.

MR.. BLAINE'S REPLY.

Mr.. Blaine has made with promptness a
review Of the Presidents message, taking
radical issue with him, and enunciating
the protective policy with force and clear
ness. He assails the position taken by Mr..
Cleveland for retention of internal revenue
in order to force down the tariff, and thus
expose American labor production to I'M
wholesome foreign competition. But while
he would remove the domestic tobacco tax,
Mr.. Blaine says that for moral reasons he
would retain the whisky tax. This he
bases upon the assumption that decrease in
price would enormously increase consump-
ton. Upon that point we cannot think
he is in correct. We 30 not believe that
the drinkers of liquors would find any re-
duction of price at the bar. In gallon
of whisky the reduction would, if
made, be merely a cent or less per drink.
On the contrary, the removal of the tax,
besides abolishing an army of revenue Off
GERS, would remove also ali incentive to
fraud in compounding. and the consumer
would really get better liquor than now, at
the same price.
Mr.. Blaine's claim forexpenditure of the
surplus in charging coast defenses is one
that will meet with hearty general APP
provai. The nation does not expect war,
but it is the part of unwisdom to invite
assault, or neglect those ordinary precau-
tions which contribute to our armed
strength and inspire respect from other
powers. As now situated, there is scarcely
a port in the United States that is not at
the mercy of the ordinary ironclads of the
weakest of the nations of the earth.
As whole, Mr.. Blaine's reply to the
President IS such a one as will strengthen
the protectionists greatly, and which will
prove extremely annoying to free traders
Behind Mr.. Blaine's argument is the pres
ent policy of the country which it is urged
it ought to abandon. 1t has had the repu-
tation of being popular with the people,
and conservative of manufacturing labor
and producing interests. That policy has
the great advantage of being in possession
and its custer, Mr.. Cleveland will find, is
no easy task, nor to be accomplished with
out very lively shaking up of the whole
country, in which sectional interests
will be compacted in one part of the land
against those of another, and export
ing and importing businesses at the great
seaports be arrayed against.the manufact-
uring industries and the larger portion of
industries dependent upon production from
the soil.

CONDUCTORS DIscHARGED.-An number of
conductors on the Canadian Pacific have
got themselves into trouble Some time
ago q spotter passed along the line and
caught eight conductors between North Bay
and Vancouver. His method of acting the
spy was a contemplate one. He was a
middle-aged, sickly man, and he repre-
scented himself as an old conductor who
he'd no money and was broken down in
health. He said he was trying to reach the
Pacific coast and appealed to the various
conductors as he met them to pass him
as an act Of kindness TO az old brother con-
ductor. Touched by his pitiful story and
evident distress, the conductors yielded to
his earnest requests and let him ride free.
All the conductors who so befriended him
were reported; four have already been dis
charged, and four more will also, it is said,
be similarly treated. This is said to be the
only charge agains; these men, ana there is

MR. KassoN ON THE TARIFF.


Hon, John a. Kasson, of Iowa, discusses
in the December Forum the Western view
OF the tariff, considering the free traders,
pure and simple, the tarifiites-for- reve-
nue-only," and the protectionists. Heholds
that on this absorbing question the scales
of justice are held most evenly in the West,
rs it is not ireiudiced by the political ira
ditions of North or South, and is seeking
only the good of the whole country. To
the free trader he declares there is no in
vitation in the West, for he has not pro-
tiuced any facts to support his theories.
The real contestants who do battle in the
West are the revenue-tariffites and the
proteetionists. As to protection, the West
